Recenzii
"A studio director in the best and sometimes worst sense of the term, in this book Mervyn LeRoy finally gets his due—and then some: nineteen compact essays redress decades-old snubs, together rehabilitating the reputation of the director of such classics as Little Caesar and I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang. Mervyn LeRoy Comes to Town revisits old-school auteurism to help readers appreciate and understand the work of an unpretentious American artist."
"By offering the first sustained look at the career of Mervyn LeRoy, this book does something new, showing what a director-driven study can be like without the neo-romanticism of traditional auteur theory."

Descriere
The first intensive study of Mervyn LeRoy’s work, as varied in form as it is crucial to an understanding of American cinema and American culture.
